Pushing for more "free" parking at Birkdale train station whilst quite happy to seemingly sit back without lifting a finger to prevent Islanders from forking out what will end up being over $3,000 per annum.

All that has occurred is that the status quo remains the same albeit now costing Islanders to park.

With the change in zoning a perfect opportunity has arrived to build a multi-storey car parking facility.

But no, simply leaving the car-park shortages in place and charging for the privilege of a park is the order of the day.

What a major disappointment!

This is going to be user-pays to a private parking company/s eventually.

Seems to be a good idea for island residents to consider banding together to purchase some nearby blocks and start planning to build a car storage business before it is too late.

You see a car storage business is a short term band aid that will fall off eventually where as a bridge will permanently fix the problem.

I suggest if you can arrange the money side of it, the council and the state government would be only too pleased to assist with land use zonings etc to accomodate your bridge. Yeah, perhaps we can make a movie of the incident, just like Narnia, that other fantasy up at Cleveland.

Shorter barge route = cheaper fares & less time taken.

Shorter time on barge, lots more time getting to anywhere from there.

Well researched.!!!!

Little Rocky Point is not that far from anywhere unless of course you want to go into the car storage business with burdened.

I would much rather give my money to the southern Russell Island barge route, hell of a lot cheaper too.

Buy a UBD first, see and understand where on the mainland you arrive. Beenleigh after a long trip on not the greatest road in the world, dodging cane trucks. Well researched again.

The cost of the car storage is an unknown as yet.

As is the cost of your bridge and the toll also is a mystery.

Not that it matters about the bridge/toll costs because they are not happening.
